SCO OpenServer Update Pack 2 builds on SCO’s SCO OpenServer 5.0.7 operating system by providing new hardware support for USB 1.0 and 2.0. In Update Pack 2, SCO also begins bundling and supporting the object-relational database management system, PostgreSQL.

Honestly, does anybody that has a choice, do business with this company, anymore?
You’ve got to be kidding me, SCO is just now supporting USB! That’s rich. I would say that it is about time SCO bundled PostgreSQL but I doubt very many other commercial Unices bundle it either.
No wonder SCO has resorted to using their legal and UNIX licensing departments to generate their funding. Who in their right mind would trust their enterprise to this crap when it is obvious that SCO could care less about properly supporting it.
SCO…so much amazing potential wasted by years of laziness and neglect. They deserve everything they get at this point.
Guess GPL related software isn’t so evil after all ……
What’s the word I am looking for ….. hypocrisy
people are often confused by sco, when they say “enterprise” they seem to be referring to “running on cash registers of big companies”. this has been the domain of sco, its extremely recent that they have even tried to enter the league of HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, etc.
so dont be confused, sco’s UnixWare never had potential, the technology in their old caldera product was more suited to enterprise servers then unixware.
>Guess GPL related software isn’t so evil after all ……
PostgreSQL is NOT GPL.
They pissed off a lot of open source developers and fired their guns on all directions but are, at same time, using a lot of tools developed by that free software devotes.
Must be a clause forbing specific users to use the code. Something like:
* All users can use freely the code except those that the authors point out.
>PostgreSQL is NOT GPL.
No, but they distribute CUPS, ghostscript, gimp-print… which are GPL
Must be a clause <forbidding> specific users to use the code. Something like:
* All users can use freely the code except those that the authors point out.
Hi
what about samba?
under what license it is it? gpl right?
they claim they gpl is illegal
what the hell are they doing with samba then?
Wow, another SCO innovation! I wonder if these guys are going to outsell Microsoft.
If you look at the grahpic on
http://www.thescogroup.com/products/openserver507/“>SCO you will see a guy in the background with what appears to be a light through his head. Is this what made Darl so light headed?
Without SCO.
…
I laughed anyway.
[i]Serial ATA support
Serial ATA is supported by the iir driver only for the Intel RAID Controller (PCI) card Model SRCS14L. As a rule, motherboards with built-in Serial ATA controllers are not supported. However, certain motherboards with Intel chipsets (such as the i865p and i875p) include support for a legacy mode that presents Serial ATA drives as parallel ATA (IDE) drives to the operating system. (Such motherboards include a “Legacy” or “P-ATA Secondary” option in the BIOS.)[i]
PostgreSQL is BSD licence. Anyway it’s an opensource application and SCO claims that opensource is a threat to USA or some crap like that.
So let’s arrest em
Who cares what SCO are doing? Stop reporting on this company here or i and many others will leave okay?
“Who cares what SCO are doing? Stop reporting on this company here or i and many others will leave okay?”
I care what SCO is doing. I want to be able to read every minor detail of SCO’s death spiral. Let’s not stop the party before it has even begun, ok?
so leave already.
and stop speaking for me, because i do care.

I want to be the first dancing on sco’s grave…
A criminal does not exacly like you “breathing down his neck”.
Suffices to say we know whenever SCO’s heart beats, and they hate that.
You are free to leave then.
SCO –no matter if they are so unlikable by everyone– they do have two operating systems under their belt. OSNews’ goal is to report on OS & surrounded tech news, no matter where they come from. We do no discrimination as long as the news are relevant.
NCR announced a major update to it’s popular ITX operating system.
Those still using the Burroughs 3500/3700 series will be happy to note the latest update to MCP.
And Honeywell’s GECO’s is now better than ever.
BTW: I have used all of those OSes (among many others).
This company deserves to close its doors once and for all (i hope it happens soon cause i cant stand them). That is the only news i am looking forward to in linux world.

Hey, join the line. There was one started years before this Linux vs. SCO fiasco started.
I think that people who work (programmers) at SCO isn’t guilty for what SCO authority is doing. So, I think you need to separate two things and don’t send your anger on simple people just because their authority mistakes and doesn’t matter how big they are. You need to compare their OS with others and only then say something bad to this or other SCO products.
1) Does Anyone with a choice -run- this stuff?
2) Why not report on modern operating systems instead?
3) Why would SCO even try to keep up? It’s as though they think their software has a future. Could they be just trying to -look- legitimate, to quiet the “they’re a legal department, nothing more” criticisms? I feel sorry for the poor programmer(s) who are likely working on this dead end stuff just so their management can pretend SCO has technical viability. But then I guess a paycheck is a paycheck – as long as it lasts, anyway.
